Forever in my nightmares

Your name means more to me than life,

remember when I was good enough to love?

The way you’d say my name,

how gentle your touch was to my soul.

I recall the talks we’d have in the night,

as subtle light became our way together.

Now I stand alone in fear of what’d I’d become,

without you in my arms waiting to die alone.

I seek nothing but the very scent on your breasts,

like jasmine reaching out into my heart.

The kisses you’d give me as I slept,

still haunt my dreams as I lay here.

How deep your touch would go when I was down,

lifting me back up to your eyes.

I miss you like I need the very breath in my pain,

to suffer without you is like needles in my arm.

Do you even remember my name?

Is there anyway you look to the same stars?

I love you, I need you, I want you more than you know,

but as I look upon these pictures, I know I lost you forever.
